"In previous years, when the cast asked for raises, 20th Century Fox threatened to hire sound-alike replacements. It’s unlikely after 23 years that diehard fans — some of whom were born after the show became a hit — would ever accept vocal doppelgangers."
Oh, Mexico 2005. The entire cast dubbing The Simpsons felt so indispensable they wanted to get paid even more. They were fired and replaced with sound alike actors. There were many complaints at first, a few of them remain, but now it's been so long that no one remembers how they sounded before.
We are so used to dubbing that the original (english) voices for us are not appealing (or funny).
